I don't know why people automatically assume that today's athletes are always better? I will use the Carl Lewis example in Track and field to explain this to you. The past TWO Olympics Champions at the long jump won the Gold with Jumps of 27feet something CARL LEWIS JUMPED at least 28Feet at Major meets in the long JUMP for 7 straight years in the 80's IF todays athletes are always better why aren't today's long Jumpers consistently jumping 28 feet like Carl Lewis did??? There answer is real simple: Today's athletes are not always better!! Another point I will make about the NFL and the Athletes of the 70's and 80's in that league is that they DID NOT START TESTING FOR STEROIDS UNTIL 1987! They never issued any suspensions until the 1989 season! We all know about the impact of steroids in baseball and that sports records and stats. If you think today's NFL players are playing at a higher physical level now than they did during the legal steroid period of NFL you are Crazy! Look at Baseball we haven't saw any more 60 or 70 homerun seasons since steroids became illegal have we????

I don't know why people assume that yesterdays athletes are better...

Training is better now...
